\nIt\u2019s hard to shake the addiction to a monthly salary. But take the advice of a master quitter \u2013 jacking it in before you\u2019re too successful might be the best thing you ever doI am a very important, very busy person. Sometimes I wake up and don\u2019t even have time for breakfast because I have just got so much on. I normally check my email on the subway so I can hit the ground running when I reach my Manhattan office; but, you know, it\u2019s impossible to ever really catch up because I get so many emails.

It\u2019s also why you learn to speak a special language that dresses up banal actions in game-changing, out-of-the-box verbiage. And it\u2019s why everyone is always so \u201cbusy\u201d, even though they\u2019re often just busy doing busy work. Finally, it\u2019s why a certain strata of people feel justified in taking home disproportionately large salaries for jobs that contribute very little to society. Continue reading…
